The Motor City Machine Guns will get their first crack at AEW tag gold sometime soon.

The duo of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin won their best-of-five series against FTR on Wednesday night, prevailing in the decisive Match 5 on Dynamite in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Shortly before the match, it was revealed that the winning team would become the #1 contenders for AEW’s World Tag Team Championships.

MCMG, who only made the jump from WWE to AEW earlier this year, have their first title opportunity lined up in the company now.

It’s unknown at the moment who Shelley and Sabin will face for the titles. Before they get a chance at the belts, The Young Bucks will attempt to defend at this weekend’s Full Gear pay-per-view against Mark Davis and Jake Doyle.
